9. Hillary *means* more torture, renditions, warmongering, TPP, surveillance state, police state,

More soul-sucking apologism, mind-numbing propaganda, abetting the banks and criminals, corporate/MIC domination, and sending the soul of this nation into the sewer.

THIRD WAY GHOULS.....NOTHING IS BEYOND OUR REACH.

The important point here is that it's all related. These are the fruits of Wall Street/MIC corruption, and Hillary is the poster child for more of the same. If you want continuation of the Wall Street/MIC cabal that breaks bones, rapes children in front of their parents, and impoverishes millions while helping both torturers *and* banking criminals hide evidence of their crimes, praising the torturers as "patriots," and imprisoning the whistleblowers......Hillary's the choice.)[/font size]
